Parida, B. (2011). The influence of plant nitrogen availability on the global carbon cycle and N2O emissions. PhD Thesis, University of Hamburg
Ph.D. thesis is about the cycling of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in the terrestrial ecosystems. Their interactions are studied by incorporating a new scheme for the terrestrial N cycling in the process-based land C cycle model JSBACH. This research also involved nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from natural soils under climate change and climate-N2O feedback, N2O emissions that arise from both land use change and fertilized agricultural soils, and the role of long-lived wood products for climate change mitigation.
Parida, B. (2006). Analysing the effect of severity and duration of Agricultural drought on crop performance using Terra/MODIS satellite data and Meteorological data’. Msc Thesis, ITC, The Netherlands
M.Sc. thesis is about the detecting agricultural drought using space-based meaurements and validating with the crop moisture index derived from historical meteorological data and crop statistics.

Dr.rer.nat. Bikash Parida worked as a postdoc at the Institute of the Environment, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), USA. His research focuses to identify the key mechanisms and processes through integrating remotely-sensed and surface-based observations that affect the large-scale vegetation growth under climate change. He studied remote sensing and GIS at the Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC), The Netherlands, and obtained his PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology and the University of Hamburg. He worked as a research associate at the Geoinformatics Center, Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Thailand, where he actively involved in teaching and research related to remote sensing and GIS. He was also recognized as a resource speaker on the ‘Training on the applications of geospatial technologies for disaster risk mitigation’ at PHIVOLCS (Philippines) and LAPAN (Indonesia).
He is interested in cross-cutting interdisciplinary research and teaching related to remote sensing, hydro-climatic change analysis, vegetation-atmosphere interactions, and food security.
